Corporate Social Responsibility and the Three Sectors in Asia: How Conscious Engagement Can Benefit Civil Society: 2017 (Nonprofit and Civil Society Studies)

This volume investigates how much governmental control is needed to reign in corporate and business greed and to make business "socially responsible" in Asia. It also questions whether business entities need to be reigned in by the government itself, or if other social, religious, or economic dynamics shape business entities in Asia. Moreover, it looks at how the Asian third sector influences BSR/CSR activities. Samiul Hasan (PhD), author and editor, teaches in the public policy and governance program at the UAE University. His recent works, as principal researcher, author, and editor include: Philanthropy and Human Security in the Muslim World: Concepts, Characters, and Challenges (Springer, 2015); The Muslim World in the 21st Century: Space, Power, and Human Development (Springer, 2012).
